XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Mitsubishi FTO 1994-1997

The Mitsubishi FTO’s front-wheel drive layout is a known quantity in tarmac rally trim: the MT21 chassis’ tendency to understeer under power means getting the front axle loaded and compliant across uneven stage surfaces is the primary suspension brief. On sealed tarmac, where surface imperfections arrive faster than any driver can anticipate, the dampers have to absorb the hit without unsettling the car’s attitude or breaking tyre contact.

The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover kit for the FTO covers the 1994-1997 production run, built specifically for sealed-stage competition use – not road springs that happen to get used at weekends, but units developed from tarmac rally experience from the outset.

What this coilover does for your 1994-1997 Mitsubishi FTO

On a front-wheel drive platform, traction is everything, and the FTO is no exception. The Tarmac Rally specification maintains tyre contact through surface changes that would lift the inside front wheel and bleed momentum from a standard setup – particularly valuable when the MIVEC V6 is pulling hard out of a tight hairpin and you need the front axle to stay working. Body movement is suppressed through compression sequences, meaning the car doesn’t skip or pitch between successive impacts. Vehicle stability across broken tarmac improves directly: consistent contact means consistent steering response, and the driver can commit earlier to the exit.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally range is developed from the company’s competition background on sealed surfaces. The damper internals are calibrated to absorb sudden vertical inputs – ridge compressions, patched tarmac, mid-corner crests – without deflecting the car sideways as the suspension cycles. The key characteristic is the ability to manage large bumps and absorb the jolt of high-speed surface changes, suppressing secondary body movement that would otherwise feed back through the steering and compromise traction. Every adjustment setting in the Tarmac Rally series comes out of live competition experience rather than a theoretical baseline, which means the calibration reflects what actually works on a closed-road stage rather than what looks correct on paper.
